Seasonal Summer

Posted by Vivian Gonzalez

A seasonal summer pattern remains in place for South Florida attributed to an area of high pressure in control of our weather. However, this area of high pressure is not as strong to keep conditions totally dry. In fact, we will see the occasional passing overnight/early morning coastal shower along a warm ocean breeze and spotty afternoon inland storms due to our sea breezes colliding. This should be the routine through Monday of next week. 

Our seasonal summer pattern will change by Tuesday as computer models keep insisting on tropical moisture moving in and bringing a better chance of rain.

Tropical Update:

1) Tropical Storm Gordon is getting stronger with sustained winds at 65mph. This storm could become a category one hurricane on Friday as some strong upper-level winds push it East. By the end of the weekend, it will begin to weaken as it moves through the Azores.

2) Remnants of Tropical Depression Seven have emerged into the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico and is producing disorganized showers and storms. The National Hurricane Center is giving it low potential to develop since it is so close to land.

Have a wonderful evening South Florida and make it a safe one!

Super Moon

It's back. The Super-Moon. It will take place this Friday at moonrise. Hopefully Mother nature will cooperate. There is a slight chance for showers on Friday. The moon should rise at 6:30pm.

Feeling the HEAT

We are going to be feeling the Heat once again this afternoon. Summer officially begins on Friday and wouldn't you know it... it's started a few weeks early for us with temperature reading a few degrees above where we should be for this time of year. The weather so far has been great and outside of a spotty inland storm today and Thursday that is basically it. On Friday, we could see some more moisture around.

Tropical Depression #2

Tropical depression Two made landfall over Belize Monday night, with gusty winds and heavy rain. The main threat over the next day or so over Belize, Northern Honduras, Southern Yucatan and Guatemala will be rain. Flash flooding over mountainous areas will be likely as 6 inches of rain are expected in the next 48 hours. 

Low rain chance for now

Dad's day weekend was nice if you had outdoor activities planned and the start of the week is just the same. A low rain chance is expected on this Monday. We have a strong area of high pressure in control and if we see any showers or storms they will form well inland due to an East-Southeast breeze. However, seasonal chances are expected from Tuesday through Thursday. Originally the thinking was that we were going to tap into some tropical moisture associated with a disturbance (tropical wave) in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea, but it seems like the majority of it will be suppressed to the South. We will be monitoring moisture levels carefully. For now, only a 30-40% chance of rain is expected through Thursday.
